9 <br /> The Board will consider an amendment to the OUTBoard-specific Rules and <br /> Procedures to revise its meeting time. <br /> Commissioner Rich asked if there is a reason why the OUTBoard meeting time is being <br /> changed, and if this is done for other boards. <br /> Commissioner Dorosin said boards should be able to determine meeting times, and he <br /> was surprised that this request had to come to the BOCC. <br /> Commissioner Rich asked if other boards have made similar requests, and if boards <br /> know making such a request is possible. <br /> John Roberts said when the Board of County Commissioners adopted the individual <br /> advisory policies, in about 50% of the cases, the BOCC determined a meeting time, and thus if <br /> a different time is desired, a request must come back to the Board of County Commissioners. <br /> Commissioner Rich said it seems inconsistent. <br /> Bonnie Hammersley said not all advisory boards meet at 7:00 p.m. <br /> Commissioner Rich said the Board may want to consider letting the boards pick their <br /> own times, and make a policy change. <br /> Commissioner Dorosin said this topic can be added to an upcoming work session. <br /> A motion was made by Commissioner Rich, seconded by Commissioner Price to <br /> approve an amendment to the OUTBoard-specific Rules and Procedures to revise its meeting <br /> time to 6:30 p.m. <br /> VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br /> 6-q: Performance Agreement Between the Town of Chapel Hill and Visitors Bureau <br /> The Board considered ratifying the Manager's signature approving the 2016-2017 <br /> performance agreement between the Town of Chapel Hill and the Visitors Bureau (VB). <br /> Commissioner Rich requested that the Board thank the Town of Chapel Hill for their <br /> contribution to the Visitors Bureau, and she thinks the Board should reconsider how the <br /> County gets funds from the Towns and the Visitors Bureau is working on this, and the <br /> conversation is on-going. <br /> A motion was made by Commissioner Rich, seconded by Commissioner Price to <br /> approve ratifying the Manager's signature approving the 2016-2017 performance agreement <br /> between the Town of Chapel Hill and the Visitors Bureau. <br /> VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br /> 6-I: Orange County/City of Durham Utility Service Agreement Amendment <br /> The Board considered amending the deadline for construction to begin in the current <br /> utility service agreement from January 31, 2017 to June 30, 2018 and authorize the County <br /> Manager to sign. <br /> Commissioner Price said she wanted to make sure that staff would bring this to the full <br /> attention of the residents. <br /> Craig Benedict, Orange County Planning Director, said some preliminary surveying for <br /> feasibility is being done, and the community meeting will be in roughly six weeks. <br /> A motion was made by Commissioner Price, seconded by Commissioner Jacobs to <br /> approve amending the deadline for construction to begin in the current utility service <br />
